The... Sign in to see full entry.

Everything But Sex

Apparently, no one has thought to study that yet. Here's the second half of the story about Echo Boomers, the current "hot" generation. It's interesting that each generation has to have a title. The Baby Boomers have expanded from children conceived when their fathers and mothers came home from... Sign in to see full entry.

Help me, please!

Here’s a little problem. I need motivation (to write). I’m writing just about every day, but I need motivation. That sounds weird, doesn’t it? The reason I need motivation is that I’m writing or thinking about what I am going to write for the blogs every day, or reading what other people have... Sign in to see full entry.
